pakistani landrace genetics

[dill786]

well i am not sure about the farmers saving seeds as in finding the best cultivars, rather they just save to sow the next season, they dont have name and descriptions like we do....

this vid is from across the border in Afghanistan, do you think these plants are sown from seed the same strain or from cloning a mother plant or just random seeds they sowed in there field....

coz they all look different maybe phenos.. you can see they are not even uniformed plants all diff sizes and some are purple, its like they just use cannabis seeds like a mixture and just grow them out, remember out there they dont smoke the flower, they make charas out of it,,, so the charas is a mixture of so many types of cannabis, they dont have a culture of smoking the flower, after they have shaken out all the THC from the plant, the spent plant is used in animal feed.....

I would think that they would have a separate crop where they let all the males and females together to pollinate in mass. In Jamaica that was the case back in the 70’s. Whether that is the case elsewhere or for that matter in Jamaica now I have no idea.

^ thanks

so if i find some landraces in the hindu kush or any of the other valleys..

i bring them back to Uk and grow them out and send a sample of bud to a LAB in spain to see what it contains how much THC and how much THCV lets say i find one with double digit THCV bearing in mind that most strains just have trace elements of THCV less than 1% in most cases..

what do i do next ??

how do i monetise ?

apologises for the simpleton questions but i am a grower never thought about seeds until recently, i see people shuffling around waiting for cannabis to be legit in England etc.....

Just like any product you would have to find an interested party and broker a price. Someone like Arjan of Greenhouse Seeds would possibly be interested or medical cannabis companies that are interested in certain cannabinoids that can isolate and extract.
I wouldn’t count on getting a lot of money if going that route though as these people are pretty savvy and have no problem taking advantage. If you truly found something special I am sure you could find interested parties, as far as money goes I haven’t a clue to what someone would pay for that type of product.

finding a thcv strain with that high amounts will be more than hard

what i found out troughout the years, africas is the continent for thcv strains, as many of them gave me the anti-munchies , like taking amph , you were hungry smoked some shit, actually it was lesotho landrace, very nice sativa buzz, and your hunger was gone for at least 4 hours, of course i smoked more after 4 hours lol ...

anyways, i crossed different african hybrids and found also the thcv in those crosses, when gens split up

regarding paki , well i got this nice batch of hunza crosses from our swiss traveller who made lots of crosses with hunza, i found it funny to find them later on listed at seedbay for some serious money ... when actually they were for free .. wtf ... lol ....

1st , find a a lab to test
2nd , mail those results to some major players, and ask if interested
3rd , get those thousands of bucks from arjan , why him, bc his library has only 1 strain that is about 1% thcv , if you find one with 3% i would ask for at least 3000$ or euros , imho dont forget, they want it for free, those mofos

hi deran and thanks, damn i was thinking about you earlier was gonna fire a PM to see how you were doing !!!

The pakistan weed smokers on the whole dont have the culture we have in europe, they would fucking go mental if you tell them how much the seeds from the valleys cost in Europe.. nobody goes to the valleys lookng for landstrains, not even the strain hunters can you believe it they rather travel to central congo to look for landraces than pakistan, i think congo is a lot more dangerous...


the marijuna in the valleys have been untouched by human hands, god knows for how many years or decades they have been growing there quietly out of the way, some of them valleys you can only drive upto a certain point, then its either horse back or walking......

so the THCv is in low amounts in hybrids and more in landraces ???

No it’s higher in Sativa strains....
